This game has unused models. This game has unused items. This game has unused sounds.

This article is a work in progress....Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.Notes: Get the pre-loaded "outliers" and the unused dialogue from Alyx and G-Man.

Half-Life 2: Episode One is follow up to the original Half-Life 2, featuring pretty-looking HDR effects, more cooperation with Alyx, more physics puzzles and red skies.

It also adds some Hunters. Woo.

Vortex Hopwire Grenade

This "weapon", also nicknamed the Black Hole Grenade, can be spawned through the console. It is very powerful, drawing everything nearby into it before collapsing and killing enemies instantly. However, it is glitchy and has an unfinished model; it re-uses the Rollermine model. According to Episode Two's commentary track, this would later become the Magnusson Device.

If used too close to Alyx, it can kill her and spawn endless ragdoll copies, and often crashes the game to the desktop.

Unused Models

models/props_outland/pumpkin01_explosive.mdl contains an untextured pumpkin from an early build of Episode Two.

Unused G-Man Dialogue

There are various soundscripts located in Half-Life 2: Episode One that are pre-loaded, but whose respective sound files were omitted in versions after the preload release. The G-Man is one example of this. Here are various lines from the intro, and his only appearance in the game since the Vortigaunts hinder him from getting to talk to Gordon. Seemingly, he was to speak with Gordon in early revisions before being cut off, whereas in the final he is instead stopped from even initiating conversation.

unlike the fucking soldiers who volunteer for what they get.
Alyx has one of several unused pieces of dialogue involving the Stalker train that she and Gordon ride to get out of the Citadel, where she expressed fear for the Stalkers. As Bill Fletcher mentions in the developer commentary, her reactions to the Stalkers went through a number of iterations. In very early versions, Alyx was frightened by the Stalkers. This didn't work since it clashed with her earlier reactions to Stalkers in the Citadel, who to her knowledge were simply workers. In the second revision, Alyx expressed anger at the Stalkers' predicament. Early versions of this didn't work either since Alyx's transition from generally upbeat to blind rage was too sudden. Ultimately, through "rewrites and rigorous testing", the team found the right tone for the scene - a simmering anger level that was more in tune with the situation.

In addition to this line also being removed in releases after the preload version, it is located among the closed captions, its string is blanked out however.
